Teleurgesteld oor ligging ("Whale Watch"?) naby strand (slegs as jy 'n voël is).

Translate to English.
Disappointed with location ("Whale Watch"?) near beach (only if you are a bird).
Unit is poorly designed: sink too small with solid faucet (can't get your head in sink); shower bath does not have a footrest or fixed soap dish; towel rails too short to hang bath towel on. Positive: friendliness serious helpfulness of owners.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons jammer dat jy voel dat die uitleg van die eenheid jou nie pas nie. Die foto's dui duidelik aan hoe die uitleg van die eenheid lyk as ook gee jou 'n goeie aanduiding van die grootte van die badkamer. Dankie vir jou voorstel oor die seepbakkie. Ons sal kyk na die handdoekrelings volgens ons is dit die standard hoogte. Ons is hoop jy het jou vakansie geniet het. Hoop ons sien jou gou weer.

Clean, tidy and welcoming.
Whale Watch was a lovely accommodation place. It's very neat and clean. There was everything we needed. We were received with kindness and the owner Chris was able to give us thorough knowledge about any questions we had. Chris and Pauline went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and carefree. The braai place is nice and secluded, and there are walking paths near the house. We stayed 6 nights and could have easily stayed another week!

Nice apartment behind the house. Neat and precise, garage has direct access to the apartment. Very safe. 12min walk from the sea. Road traffic unfortunately makes more noise than the roar of the sea.

Nice
The place was very nice, comfortable and tidy. Would only recommend putting out extra toilet paper, black bags, coffee and sugar. Also that the salt and pepper jars are filled. The advertisement can also include what guests must bring with them. But other than that Chris was very helpful and friendly we felt at home we will definitely stay there again the braai pit is awesome. You can have fun there and Gansbaai is beautiful.

Very pleasant and the facilities are excellent and we were very private.
The place is beautiful and a pleasure to visit with all the necessary items and well equipped with everything we wanted to use, even the bedding and towels were included. It was a great pleasure to be able to stay there for the weekend. Our vehicles were also safely in a garage and behind a locked gate which made it an even bigger bonus. The people's hospitality was excellent.

On arrival, the owner was surprised about who we were. There is a steep staircase. The water was off during one stay. We left earlier than planned. Please check the website carefully before placing accommodation on their website.

Beste Mogamat,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer.
Ek is nie seker wat bedoel word met ons wat verbaas was oor wie julle is nie? Ons het jul aankoms verwag.
Dit word in die tweede paragraaf van die hoofbeskrywing op die webtuiste aangedui dat die hoofslaapkamer op die eerste vloer geleë is. Dus is daar 'n grondvloer en 'n eerste vloer wat met trappe verbind word.
Daar word ook melding gemaak dat die prys vir 4 persone is. Indien gaste nog 2 mense wil saambring, sal die derde slaapkamer beskikbaar gestel word teen R400.00 per nag.
Wat die water betref, was daar 'n waterpyp wat gebars het in die straat agter ons. Die Munisipaliteit het dit die Maandagoggend reggemaak. Die gaste was daarvan in kennis gestel en dit was binne drie ure weer reg. Ongelukkig is dit iets wat buite ons beheer is.
Groete,
Chris
